Even though I’m at the point in my life where too sweet is just too much for me, my sweet tooth still craves for that occasional overdose of sugar. Milk is a good place to fill this craving with tons of cakes and cookies and ice cream to choose from. What’s unique about Milk’s take [...]

Must Eat Caramel Thick Toast and Boba Milk Tea at Factory Tea Bar in San Gabriel

September 29th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Dessert, Food, Must Eat, San Gabriel Valley, Travels / Leave A Comment

When it comes to the boba milk tea basics, Factory Tea Bar wins. The tea flavor is strong and the pearls taste fresh. The pearls were perfect – warm, chewy, and sweetened. Make sure to request less sweet since the pearls themselves are already sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, then the “FTB Thick [...]

Rice Burger at Bun Bun Tea House in Arcadia

Being in Bun Bun Tea House feels like being in Taiwan – just look at the picture! You can see Taipei 101 behind us. Bun Bun Tea reminds me of MOS Burger in Asia, except everything is American size, of course. I had high hopes for the rice bun burgers, but it was just okay [...]

Susy kept insisting that I check out the new Asian fusion cafe that opened in Alhambra – Honey Badger Cafe. I’m glad I did. They have $5 sandwiches, and the one I went for, their Cuban pulled pork sandwich, was worth every bite. Add on an almond milk tea for a couple bucks and there [...]

Shaved Snow at Tasty To Go

September 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, San Gabriel Valley, Travels / Leave A Comment

Shaved snow/xue hua bing (雪花冰) finally made its way to the city of Arcadia at a Chinese take-out joint called Tasty To Go. The ice isn’t as sheet-like and fluffy as it’s supposed to be, maybe because it was melting too fast, or maybe because they piled on so much that it got too heavy [...]

Dinner at Chef’s China Kitchen

September 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food, San Gabriel Valley, Travels / Leave A Comment

Not gonna lie, the food at Chef’s China Kitchen wasn’t outstanding nor too memorable, but it’s homey there, and it’s the type of place that I’d default to with my family if we lived in the area. I liked their stewed pork rice/lu rou fan (滷肉飯) – they give a lot of pork and sauce [...]

Every time I visit the SGV, there’s something new. (Well, a lotta things.) My new favorite bakery in San Gabriel is Oh My Pan Bakery & Tea. It’s so good I had to go twice during the weekend. Japanese style with Chinese ingredients is how the owner described the bakery, so they have pastries like [...]

Must Eat Portobello Fries at Bottega Louie

September 22nd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Italian, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / 1 Comment

Everyone makes such a big deal about the macarons at Bottega Louie, but I’m still not impressed. They just don’t taste fresh to me. However, I do like dining here. My favorite dish of theirs, as is the same with most people, is their portobella fries, battered and fried, served with a side of aioli. [...]
